Get notifications galore now that Snap2Chat goes headless

Third party SnapChat app, Snap2Chat is making steady progress. Only recently landing in BlackBerry World, it has just been updated to v1.1. It's a small update but a big one at the same time. There are no new features added only that it has received headless approval. So, for those who do use Snap2Chat frequently, you can get notifications without having to keep the app open in an Active Frame. I feel I may see more use with Snap2Chat now that it is headless.

Since the free version doesn't do notifications, the headless feature is only available with the full paid version. There are some bug fixes with this update too. The developer will of course continually iron out bugs that may arise. Note, that while the app has gone headless it isn't fully integrated into the Hub yet, you'll just get the general notifications in the Notifications tab. The developer, Nemory Studios, is looking to bring Hub integration soon. And of course, we'll let you know when that drops.

We'll bring a hands-on review real soon, comparing it to the official Android port too, so watch this space.

Snap2Chat is available for all BlackBerry 10 devices. The introductory sale is still ongoing at $0.99, so if you're still thinking about getting the full version, now may be the time to get it. Full price is $1.99. If you want to see what it's all about before diving in, Snap2Chat Lite is the free version.

As usual, if the update isn't showing yet, just give it a bit as it caches through the BlackBerry World servers.

Once again, I have the Bar file on my phone (got it before BlackBerry approved it into the app store). So should I buy it in the app store to get the headless support? Or the Bar file one I have on my phone will give me an update? :O

I purchased it a few days ago. Went to the headless Bar version yesterday instead. Tried to download the new blackberry world one and it is still listed as Beta on my phone and version1.0.15.1 BTW, I deleted the BAR version first, and then went for the BBW one.

I didn't get it until I started using it. It's hard to explain why it is good, but it is. It's just fun to use. Think of it as a change of pace from traditional messaging. Its a mix between BBM and Instagram.

One thing I never realized until I used it is that Snapchat is a messaging app, not a photo app. I always thought of it as a photo app previously.

Excellent! I was waiting for this, thanks NemOry!!! Btw I was charged twice by BlackBerry when purchasing your app (blackberry world error) Do you know who I can contact about that, I don't want to contact the refund department because I am afraid they will try to take the refund from you not knowing what happened.

YES!!! Load SnapChat then have a laggy experience, awesome!! Oh and another great feature, you can't send Videos, plus you won't even know when you get a snap because there are no notifications, such a great feature!!

Snap2Chat have extra features that aren't available even on the official Snapchat app. The android port doesn't send you notifications when you receive a snap. Also, Snap2Chat is a native BlackBerry Application & it's for just a $1.

Don't worry bro. here's a cheap one for you http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/53779890/ you can send, receive, post story, login, register. all what the snapchat on android and ios can do. this Pro Version just have features that aren't on the regular snapchat. You're actually buying the features here and not snapchat. :)

Been waiting a long time for this. My wife loves Snapchat and I've never been able to use it appropriately due to not having headless notifications because I don't enjoy leaving active frames open. So happy the app has finally gotten to this point Nem. Thanks a lot!

Well done Nemory! You are a credit to BlackBerry! I signed your petition and will be buying the full version tomorrow :) top quality BB10 app!! I hope you inspire more awesome devs to get coding! We love you here at CB!

I will always say it Nemory is the best gift BB10 has given us. Wow your responsiveness is insane. Can we request apps? Like pay some little fee to encourage you to bring an app of our choosing to BB10?

Snapchap feels like a child's toy, and not something people use in the real world. Having said that I bought the app to support developers of good 3rd party apps. I also signed the petition to get it going. #bb10believe
